This week we wanted to show you a cute ponytail hairstyle idea, using Lace Braids in a different way!
You can think of this one like braiding a one-sided French Braid, so if you know how to create a French Braid, this one will be easy!
At the end of each Lace braid, I twisted in the remaining hair into the resulting strand, and repeated the same on the other side!
After creating the Lace Braid Twists on both sides, I then combined them into a ponytail in the back and accented it with a lace clip-in bow.
You can leave the ponytail as is, or you can add curls to it. You can even get very creative and throw in any other combo for the ponytail you would like {simple braid, fishtail braid, 5-strand, etc}!
Enjoy!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 hair band, hair accessory and hairspray {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 5 minutes
Skill Level: Medium
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Begin by parting hair down the middle of the head {roughly divide hair into two even sections}… Next, pickup a small section of hair near the right temple and begin a French-lace braid {make sure you are only adding hair into the bottom strand of the French braid, or the side closest to the ear}… Continue the braid back around the head and above the ear… When you get just past the right ear, stop braiding and instead twist the hair toward the head as you add in the final pieces {the lace braid has a tendency to twist away from the head, so adding the twist at the end of the braid will keep the lace braid laying flat against the head}… When you are done picking up all the remaining hair, twist the ponytail and secure with a hair clip or have someone else hold the hair… Now repeat this same braiding technique, Steps #2-5, on the left side of head… When you are finished with both Lace Braid twists, combine the two into a ponytail and secure with a hair band… Add any accessories {like a ribbon or bow} and hairspray, as desired.Please feel free to leave me a comment below letting us know what you think!
